Gathering Assorted Items of Baseball History and Trivia. Whitey Ford Batting in the 1961 World Series. This is a little photo I got from the newspaper archives, of Whitey hitting the dirt after getting hit by a ball he’d foul-tipped off his bat. He was in the midst of extending his scoreless innings pitched in the Series streak, with the Yankees winning game 4, 7-0, before just 32,589 at Crosley Field.

Gathering Assorted Items of Baseball History and Trivia. 8220;To Hell With Babe Ruth”. You might have wondered about the veracity of the story that Japanese troops said this when fighting U.S. soldiers in the Pacific theater during World War II.

Gathering Assorted Items of Baseball History and Trivia. Don Baylor at the Start of His Pro Baseball Career. This is a small photo of Don Baylor, member of the Bluefield, West Virginia Orioles, from the June 23, 1967 Bluefield Telegraph. Notice that, at 18, he already had the look of a man, with a thick neck and stout face. Baylor, who’d just been drafted by the O’s, would do quite well for Bluefield in the summer of ‘67 as he started his way up. To TrackBack this entry is:. Feed for comments on this post.

Gathering Assorted Items of Baseball History and Trivia. Some Notes From Bill Mazeroski’s Baseball 1998 Preview. I got a copy of. Bill Mazeroski’s Baseball 1998. It’s always easy to go through these kinds of sports previews and make fun of their faulty predictions-Maz et al tabbed the Yankees as the A.L.’s “team on the slide”-and I won’t present any more of those. But, here are a few other noteworthy items in the magazine. This, on Sammy Sosa:. To TrackBack this entry is:. Feed for comments on this post.
